Off-road trails. Yesterday we attempted to find an elusive high mountain lake just down the road from our cabin. We loaded up Big Betty with some sandwiches and headed out to Big Creek. Soon after we passed the Sunshine Mine (the home of a 1972 mine disaster that claimed 91 lives, more on that later) the road turned to gravel and eventually a 4X4 trail.
A few miles up the trail we were defeated by snow covering the road and could not access the lake, a shame considering how
close we were. It was a good shake down run for the 4X4 capabilities of Big Betty. She seemed to be in her element up in the back woods hills and of course after only one time driving off-road I am now an Expert at this too. As we sat by an Elk camp and ate our sa
mmys we vowed to try again next month after the snow melted all the way. All in all a beautiful way to spend the afternoon.GBCH
